On Wednesday, September 5, The New York Times published an anonymous opinion piece, or OpEd, that claimed members of the Trump administration acted on behalf of the United States as members of the resistance. The Times only identified the writer as a senior member of the administration for whom revealing their identity would jeopardize their job.

Since then, internet sleuths and the White House worked to figure out who it is. Lists of Trump administration staff lined up to declare “not I” before the President and the public.

On Thursday evening, WikiLeaks took to Twitter to give their take on the anonymous writer. They stated:

“Based upon our statistical analysis of the language used in the New York Times anonymous Op Ed, the author is likely to be an older (58%), conservative (92%) male (66-87%). Sources should protect themselves by consulting ‘adverserial [sic] stylometry’ and ‘forensic author profiling’.”
